Title: I actually hate it when I can't go anywhere...... Post by: Trevor on July 16, 2010, 08:44:15 AM Usually this time of the year I travel to Bloemfontein which is approximately 300 miles south of here and screen films at the Volksblad Arts Festival which you can find at www.volksbladfees.co.za (http://www.volksbladfees.co.za). This is also when Brother Cheezeflix wishes me and my native bearers :wink: a safe journey across the crocodile infested Vaal River. I keep trying to tell him that we actually have motorized transport here and that there is a tarred road across the bridge, but I cannot convince him otherwise. :buggedout:
Unfortunately, one of the festival's main sponsors pulled out and it just so happens that this sponsor controls the purse for the film festival so I wasn't able to go this year. It's sad really: I liked doing it. :thumbup: Title: Re: I actually hate it when I can't go anywhere......

Just how many lions did you see on the street when you got up this morning? Be straight with me, man. Title: Re: I actually hate it when I can't go anywhere......

Just recently I've seen Ghost Son (2006) by Lamberto Bava (filmed in South Africa) and the place was crawling with wild animals... Actually South Africa looks like a cool place to be, you could walk the streets and pet a giraffe or get eaten by a crocodile... much more interesting then living in Chicago... although after getting eaten by the 10th Mosquito I'll be singing a different song... :) Title: Re: I actually hate it when I can't go anywhere......

King Daley keeps saying "no!" Although the criminals (the gangs) do have their guns... 9 people were shot over the weekend... Gee I think I can deal with a roaming Tiger then street punks that hold the weapon sideways because it looks cool. |
